Forma Massage Arts
Team
Tara McAuley
Tara is the founder of Forma Massage Arts and an award-winning massage therapist with more than 12 years of hands-on experience. Her work is driven by an ongoing fascination with anatomy, movement, and the ways the body adapts to stress, injury, and everyday life. Known for an intuitive yet highly analytical approach, Tara blends deep tissue massage, myofascial release, sports massage, Thai-inspired techniques, stretching, and rhythmic movement to create bodywork that is both therapeutic and fluid. Her signature style has evolved through years of experimentation, continuing education, and—most importantly—working with thousands of bodies. In 2026, Tara earned 1st Place in Western Freestyle and Overall Champion at the New Jersey Massage Championship, following a Silver Medal at the Pennsylvania Massage Championship earlier that year. She will advance to the American Massage Championship in Las Vegas in 2027. Tara believes exceptional massage isn't about following a routine or simply applying more pressure. It's about paying attention—understanding what the body is communicating, adapting in real time, and creating work that is entirely individual to the person on the table. Her goal is simple: to help people understand and feel at home in their bodies while continually pushing the craft of massage forward.
